sink & draw , wobblin rod

looking for some reccomendations for a good rod for sink & draw tactics , anybody any ideas

ho Jimmy
a nice 2lb testcurve rod 9/10foot
an old pike rod at 11foot would suit better

no need to go mad on top notch rods as you will abuse the rod occasionally

Tatics:
normal snap tackle.
bait:
sprats,small herrings,smelt,trout etc.
action:
slow jerky,wind and stop,above all dont wind too fast? stop let bait settle and start moving again.

i found this one on the chapmans angling website.... looks the bizz for sink and draw in the 2.5lb t/c and only £30 too!!

I reckon you had it 100% bang on before you went any further.

hi Andy
11' easier to work with,(cut down)to 9/10',
didn't finish sentence

An 11 foot rod cut down to length...is that what you mean?

yes Andy,
it gives that little extra feel for gentle takes.
once had a pike sneak right under my feet and gently pick bait up as it flutered down in margins, soft rod would not have detected it.

Sounds good. I had a 7 foot lure rod that I cut down to 6 foot and re-tipped to make it a little stiffer and give me more room and lure control. I can totally understand why you'd modify the rod you've suggested in the way you have. makes perfect sense to me mate. I like it.

Thanx Andy
if it dont work nice modify it,
you can't loose nowt

I have a 9' Esox Spinflex rod with 2.5lb tc. Plan to try it one day with a wobbled bait..... with the 2 x bait rods etc... i am feeling more & more like a baggage Mule & travelling light would make a refreshing change

In fact, my mate made a wobbling/freelining rod with the butt section of a spinning rod and the top section of a 9/10 weight fly-rod. It was amazing. I said he should have taken it to Daiwa to look at and modify but he didn't think it was worth the effort. I thought he and they missed a trick....big time. I wonder if he still has the thing???
